The Usborne Storybook Flashlight supports early literacy development by encouraging oral language, storytelling, and listening skills through interactive, imaginative play. Children project illustrated story scenes onto a wall or ceiling and narrate what they see, helping them build vocabulary, sequencing, and expressive language.

This hands-on storytelling tool aligns with Ontario early learning expectations by promoting communication, creativity, and engagement with texts in a playful, low-pressure way. As children describe images, predict events, and retell stories, they strengthen comprehension skills and confidence in oral expression.

Ideal for bedtime routines, classrooms, and early learning environments, the Storybook Flashlight offers meaningful, screen-free literacy learning that supports both independent and shared storytelling experiences.
